Locking question

[fdussud]

I have a 2002 Leon Cupra TDi that locks the doors when i drive about 15 mph. I dont know what I did but now locks all the doors except mine when I start to drive. My lock goes down but then comes right back up again so I have to lock it manually.

Anybody know how to fix this?

Cheers.

Sounds like a problem with the locking motor, make sure the same doesn't happen when you lock it via the key or remote!

I work at the MINI car factory and the they do the same thing when the door is open, the little button goes down then pops up again. I take it your door is closing properly which i'd thought it would be. Is the button stiffer then the others to push down, only thing i can think is that the locking mechanism might not be pulling the button down as its become stiffer so its popping it back up to save you from being locked in. Might need the mechanism greasing.

Thanks for the advice, I will try taking the door apart and give it some grease.
